Your slots are all in use

You're caring for everyone the ministry has paired you with right now — that's a beautiful place to be.

How to take on another pen pal

Reach the next tier — every tier you climb unlocks more active matches at once. Log letters as sent in your dashboard to move up.
One of your correspondences ends — when a match concludes (graduation, release, no response after 6+ months, mutual end), the slot opens automatically.
Talk to the Ministry — in special cases the team can grant additional slots manually. Use the Contact & Support tab on your dashboard.

The ministry can sometimes make an exception. If you'd like, submit an add-request and they'll review whether this person can take on another correspondence. Your slot stays free in the meantime — feel free to browse other pen pals while the ministry decides.
